CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

THERESIA'S POV

"Hey, kanina ka pa?" tanong ko kay Mr. Gorgeous pagkalapit ko sa table.

Nasa restaurant kami para mapag-usapan ng maayos ang favor ko sa kanya simula kaninang hapon. "Nah, kararating lang din. How's the traffic?" tanong niya nang makaupo ako sa harap niya.

Napangiti naman ako nang marinig ko siyang magtagalog. Parang nung kailan lang nang turuan ko siya kasabay ni Martha ah. "Devastating charot. Anyways, what do you think?" I referred to my favor.

"Let's order first." Natawa naman ako saka pinanood siyang tumawag ng waiter at sinabi ang order namin, then he faced me. "Kumusta si Martha?"

I smiled. "She's fine but bored. Lalo na't umalis si Jester. Wala tuloy makalaro sa bahay nang matagal, and you know how much she adores her Tito Jes."

Mahina naman siyang natawa. "You know, while I'm here for vacation, pwede naman tayong lumabas nila Martha. Like what we did in the States."

Napangiti ulit ako nang maalala ko ang nangyari noon sa States.

"Hello, Mom." I called my mom through my phone. "What brand of milk do you prefer, again?"

(Nako naman, Theresia. Naka-ilang ulit ako rito sa bahay kanina ah.)

"My bad. Naiwan ko rin yung listahan ko riyan sa bahay," I confessed while scanning the brands in the milk section.

(Hay nako talaga.) She said the milk brand and other stuff to buy for my one-year-old baby. (Need anything else?)

I smiled. "Not anymore, Mom. Ano na pong ginagawa ni Martha?"

(Your little angel is sleeping quietly in my arms.)

My smile widened. "Good. Thank you, Mom. Bibilisan ko na lang po ito tapos diretso na ako riyan."

(Ingat, Theresia.)

"Thanks, Mom." I ended the call.

I continued doing the groceries for Martha. Bumili na rin ako ng ilang pagkain at gamit para kela Mom. Tiningnan ko naman ang tulak-tulak kong cart.

Milk, pampers, water bottles, and baby food.

I smiled while shaking my head. I have never imagined myself doing this. Who knew I'll buy stuff for a baby? For my baby?

Nang maalala ko ang mukha ni Martha ay mas napangiti ako. That angel came unexpectedly but I love her unconditionally.

"Miss? May I ask what brand of chocolate you eat?" rinig kong tanong ng lalake sa likod ko.

'Di ko na lang din pinansin dahil mukhang 'di naman ako ang kausap, kaya lang may kumalabit naman sa akin kaya no choice na. Nilingon ko ang nasa likod ko, only to gasp. "M-Mr. Gorgeous," I whispered.

Imposibleng makalimutan ko ang itsura ng lalakeng umalalay sa akin noon sa bar. Masyadong maganda ang mga mata niya para makalimutan ko. "'Gorgeous?'" Mahina siyang natawa bago matigilan. "Hey, I know you."

Dahan-dahan naman akong tumango. "U-Umm... W-Were you talking to me?" pagbabago ko ng topic. Nakakahiya kaya 'yung pinaggagagawa ko noon.

I heard him chuckle. "Right. Yeah, I was asking you. I kinda need a woman's opinion." He smiled.

"Ahh... About what again?"

"Chocolates, actually." Iminuwestra niya ang kamay niya sa chocolate section. "I... I don't know if women have their own taste when it comes to chocolates and I need help."
